I've installed version 5.1 and it seemed to be working better, however now it
will not automatically start with Windows. I've gone into tools+options+
preferences and there is a check in "Run Windows Messenger when Windows
Starts".
If I take the check out and I put a shortcut to the messenger in my startup
folder, I'll have to close it every time I bootup. How can i get it to work
right, start with Windows and log on?
